Before long-term storage, leather bags and wallets should be cleaned and conditioned, stuffed with moisture-resistant paper to hold their shape, wrapped in a fabric bag (never plastic), and kept in a ventilated spot with desiccant packets. Check on them every 2–3 months.

The full answer
Apply the 5C method: Clean off dust → Control humidity (silica desiccant packets) → Keep the shape (stuff the bag with soft acid-free paper) → Cover it (fabric dust bag — never plastic, which traps air and causes mold) → Choose a ventilated spot, away from sunlight and overly dry areas. Before storing, apply a thin layer of conditioner so the leather doesn't dry out and crack while unused. In a humid climate, bags left unused easily grow mold or develop a sticky surface — check them regularly.

How often should you polish leather shoes?
Shoes in regular wear only need deep cleaning and conditioning every 1–2 months — never daily polish. Thick layers of polish don't improve the look; they just build up old wax. What matters is conditioning on rhythm so the leather never dries out.
How to keep shoes mould-free through Hanoi's damp season?
Hanoi's damp season (Feb–Apr), at 85–95% humidity, is when shoes mould most. The best defense is humidity control: silica packs in the cabinet, cedar shoetrees, and never storing shoes in sealed cardboard boxes.
How to properly treat leather shoes soaked by rain?
Rain-soaked shoes: blot dry with a soft cloth, insert shoetrees (or newspaper) to hold the shape and draw out moisture, then air-dry somewhere ventilated. Never dry with high heat.
